you thanked me all over the place, as the sweat was drying on my brow. I don't know how y'all make it look so easy to post these prelims.
It half kills me.

Then I beat myself up over my mistakes.

Then I laugh at myself. I laugh at myself a lot.

Like tonight.
I posted the entire first thread in the photo forum instead of General Discussion.
But now, they are on a roll, looking good, and I am off to bed.

BTW
I'm not sure the eggs of my finches, Halle and Lujah her mate, will hatch. 2 days over and no babies.
Next time. You will have a name sake at my house if I fertilize them myself.

So nice to see everyone's favorites, especially when we don't know the photographer.

Which is perfectly fine since it was a blind submission. Luck of the draw and all that. I'm just glad I didn't wait til the last minute. Thread 3 is tough!

care more when the are a little more involved. I actually thought you were aware of the choice of order when you posted it. You are dead right.
(they are ALL tough IMO)
I will post the names of all photographers at the end, I don't think that has been done before. Have not decided if I just have name of photo / name of photographer, or actual photo and the name.
I think I will do that only in the photo group and not GD, what do you think?

how often, after all, does one win first place

Since you are helping me think:
In GD for the post with all the names and a link from the photo group
or
only in the photo group?

It's a first, so you decide!
